Gambling can turn out to be many things for different people! It could prove to be a great source of entertainment, allowing an escape from the real world into fantasy and imagination. It could be a total stress reliever and one could even make a hugely successful career out of it. But while these are all great advantages of the game, there are also some downsides, as the game might get you addicted too! And now, if Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey is to be believed, VR gaming could literally kill you!
The killer VR headset
Luckey wrote on his personal blog that his newly designed VR headset uses three built-in explosive charges planted just above the forehead! These fees may “Instantly destroy the user’s brain.”
It’s almost like a sci-fi horror movie come to life!

The day of the Sword Art Online incident, on November 6, 2022, thousands of VRMMORPG players were trapped in a game of death and they could only go until the end. According to Luckey:
“If their hit points were to drop to zero, their brains would be bombarded by extraordinarily powerful microwaves, supposedly killing the user. The same would happen if someone in the real world tampered with their NerveGear, the virtual reality head-mounted display that transported their mind and soul to Aincrad, the main setting of Sword Art Online (a Japanese novel series).
So make sure your hits don’t drop to zero!

It’s crazy, but you shouldn’t worry. Luckey made it clear that the VR headset is “at this point…just a work of desktop art, a thought-provoking reminder of uncharted paths in game design.” It’s not (yet!) a killing machine And, he further wrote that “The idea of tying your real life to your virtual avatar has always fascinated me – you instantly raise the stakes to the max and force people to fundamentally rethink how they interact with the virtual world and the players in it. .”
VR gaming will be taken to the next level!

Imagine dying from a bug in the game.
